Reecher,s Funeral Services.

Beecher's Funeral Services.
New York, March 10.-In spite of
| the rain the streets in the vicinity of
| Beecher's home were crowded with
people this morning. At s o'clock a
| squad Of police took up their stations
| in front OF the house. A large num-
Der of floral emblems were received
| before the private services commenced.
| The remains were dressed in a suit OF
| black broadcloth, with a frock coat
| buttoned up, and the right hand laid
across the heart. The features were
natural and there vas a smile upon
the face. His homegrown hair was
brushed back over the ears, the same
as he wore it when alive. Promptly
at 8 80 the Rev. Charles III. Hall, OF
the Church of the Holy Trinity, en-
tered the house, and soon after n
tered the front parlor and commenced
to read the burial service from the
ritual of the Episcopal Church. While
the services were in progress in the
house, Company G of the Thirteenth
Regiment was drawn up in front of the
house. Only the members of the
family and a few intimate friends were
present during the services at the
house. None of the family were
dressed in black.
No Possibility OF an Extra Session.
WASHINGTON, March 10.-The De-
mocratic members OF Congress, and
others who have access to the Presi-
dent, and means OF knowledge on the
subject, do not believe that there is
any possibility of an extra session OF
Congress now. The present impress
sion, as gathered by a Star reporter,
from conversations with members of
Congress is, that the Fiftieth Congress
will be called together in the Fall, per-
haps in October, in order that some
important legislation before it may be
matured early. 1t is a we'll known fact
that Congress scarcely ever does any
business until after the holiday re-
cess. In view OF the fact that questions
of revenue and taxation, Notifications,
and others of great public interest,
must receive attention at the next
session, it is thought that the Presi-
dent will call the session to begin in
the Fall, and that it will u along into
the regular session.
A Terrible Tragedy.
